We randomly decided to make a Spanish omelette one morning for breakfast/brunch. The only thing was that we couldn’t find Chorizo sausage in any of the supermarkets near us! So we swapped it for some smoked pork & garlic sausages and they turned out just as well. It’s an easy dish that you can mix and match whatever you want in there.
Better yet, the exact same ingredients can be re-used to cook up a pasta (just toss it in with some pasta sauce) or on top of a home-made pizza. Which makes it an excellent meal that’s easily translatable. I LOVE meals like that 🙂
All the ingredients
Brown the onions in some oil, and toss in chopped Chorizo sausage (I used smoked pork and garlic ones)
and mushrooms. Cook on medium heat until brown.
Add in the cherry tomatoes and diced capsicum (I used yellow, red and green capsicums) mid-way
Beat the eggs (2 per person) with the cheese (I used soft cream cheese) and salt/pepper. Add in.
Finally, sprinkle some shallots
Done!
Spanish omelette 🙂
Looks like a really delicious breakfast meal, but I don’t think that’s actually a Spanish omelette (also called Tortilla, but is not related to the Mexican flour based pancake) which is normally more solid, like a pie which is served sliced in to wedges:

Here’s one I attempted a while back although it doesn’t look very pretty:

Well it had just about all the right ingredients.. just no potatoes, cos we wanted it on toast!
Man i need a good camera like yours food my food pornography…
Well the simple solution would be to invite me with you then I can take all the pictures for you.
Hang on what are you talking about your pictures are GREAT!

hello!
Have been following yr blog from Sydney days to Shanghai. Love reading it!
Will be heading down to Shanghai next Sat for a week. Was wondering if you have any recommendations for food or shopping? Thinking of tailoring clothes as well, heard its pretty cheap!
Thanks much!
cheers, Elaine
Oh fun, Shanghai’s fab but cold at the moment so dress warm. For food check out beverly.livejournal.com/tag/food+reviews
Oh that’s my trademark breakfast dish. I throw everything i have in the fridge and lots of cheese. Eewyn calls my creation “Elenzza” (elena + pizza). BTW how come it’s Spanish?
Why does he consider it a pizza? So weird, lol!!
It’s SPanish cos of the chorizo, but I didn’t find any so technically its not v spanish at all… but the dish originally uses chorizo and is a spanish recipe 🙂
Well it looks like pizza – round, has tomatos, lots of cheese and other pizza ingredients :)) It’s just that instead of bread you’ve got eggs.

yumss simple and easy! can add crabstick/pepperoni/ too!
I think crabstick is too weird to go into a Spanish omelette (too chinese-y) but pepperoni would be fab!
haha yea you are right. 😛
yeaaaa pepperoni~~~ can make it like a pizza too!
